Select the amount of forced flushing \fBmbsync\fR performs, which determines |
|
|
|
|
the level of data safety after system crashes and power outages: |
|
|
|
|
.br |
|
|
|
|
\fBNone\fR - no flushing at all. This is reasonably safe for file systems |
|
|
|
|
which are mounted with data=ordered mode. |
|
|
|
|
.br |
|
|
|
|
\fBNormal\fR - message and critical metadata writes are flushed. No data |
|
|
|
|
should be lost due to crashes, though it is still possible that messages |
|
|
|
|
are duplicated after crashes. This is the default, and is a wise choice for |
|
|
|
|
file systems mounted with data=writeback, in particular modern systems like |
|
|
|
|
ext4, btrfs and xfs. The performance impact on older file systems may be |
|
|
|
|
disproportionate. |
|
|
|

.br |

\fBThorough\fR - this avoids message duplication after crashes as well, |
|
|
|
|
at some additional performance cost. |

Selects whether \fBmbsync\fR performs forced flushing, which determines |

the level of data safety after system crashes and power outages. |
|
|
|

Disabling it is reasonably safe for file systems which are mounted with |

Enabling it is a wise choice for file systems mounted with data=writeback, |

on older file systems may be disproportionate. |
